“ Really authentic Indonesian food... They have great chicken and meat dishes... I don't eat pork... And I really don't eat meat... But my favorite was the fish as well as the chicken... Curries are delicious... Nice plate servings... Customer, attentive service and good pricing... Real nice place to come to to have "home Indonesian food"... ”

“ I walked in here knowing nothing about Indonesian food and ordered kind of random stuff. Everything was so delicious. As an appetizer I got the Gado Gado, which was a mix of various items including tofu and hard boiled egg coated in a thick peanut sauce. It was decently sweet but what enough salt to balance it out. My entree was the nasi campur ayam goreng. The fried chicken on this plate was incredible. Crispy coating and an extremely juicy interior. It was very well seasoned on its own, but dipping it in the spicy condiment on this plate created such an incredible bite. The deep fried egg with chili sauce was also great. While I wasn't crazy about the vegetable curry, the other item on the dish (some kind of mixture of tempeh, peppers and maybe some other vegetables?) had a unique and delicious flavor. Very pleased with my meal here, as well as the kind and patient service. Now that I have read some of the other Yelp reviews, there are certainly other items I would like to try on a return trip. ”

“ The pecel lele was fried to a nice crisp; the catfish was tasty and the sambal added an extra kick. The fried tempeh, coconut rice, and tofu were pleasant accoutrements. The chicken skewers had a great and sweet peanut sauce while the beef tongue skewers were a bit spicy with its curry, accompanied by rice cakes. ”

“ Wanted to try Indonesian food and this place did not disappoint! We got the Sumatero's Soto soup which had chicken in a coconut broth and were pleasantly surprised. It is not creamy but it is very rich. They give you a big side of white rice and crackers to eat with this soup. Then we got a rice dish- the Nasi Padang Bungkus which was an assortment of rice, rendang, curry jackfruit, egg, sambal chips, fried potatoes, and cucumber all wrapped inside a banana leaf. Get the spice on the side because it is very spicy! Loved the variety of different flavors and textures in the dish! A lot of people ordered the noodle dishes so I assume those are good too. Very small restaurant with limited staff so expect to wait a little bit for a table. It seemed like they only had 1 person running all the tables. There is a 3% surcharge for credit card payments. They accept Venmo, Zelle if you don't have cash! ”

“ This is one of my favorite restaurant in New York! My go to dish is the fried fish filet with sambal and fried egg. It also comes with a light vegetable curry that is also delicious. This place used to be called Sky Cafe, but rebranded to Sumatera now and I'm so glad they're still around! I was heartbroken when I saw that Sky Cafe was permanently closed on Google. I've eaten here several times. One time I came with a large group of 9 and we ordered a lot off the menu, most of which I don't remember the names, but everything was delicious! You really can't go wrong here. The food is extremely flavorful and spicy (some dishes). The portion is also a perfect amount. I highly recommend this place! ”

“ **Cash or Venmo only** Sumatera (formerly Sky Cafe) has been on my list for ages and I finally made it in. Menu seems pretty much the same as Sky Cafe. My boyfriend and I came for dinner and tried: + Batagor (fried fish cake) - great + Nasi bebek goreng (fried duck) - great + Sumatera's Soto (chicken broth coconut soup) - this was my favorite thing... it actually healed me. And the shrimp chips were so good! A few weeks later when I had a cold, I ordered this soup for delivery. Better in person but still great. Coconut rice was also perfect. ”

“ My husband is taiwanese but LOVES Indonesian food.. ever since I introduced him to this place (I'm Malay), he hasn't stopped craving their food - especially their Nasi Bungkus! It's a small sit in restaurant so I'm not sure a big group would work if you don't call ahead of time and ask if they're able to accomodate. However, very family vibe and the servers there speak Bahasa, Hokkien, Mandarin and English! It's so refreshing to find a restaurant that speaks everything you speak :) Food wise - love love LOVE their Gado Gado. Sate Ayam, Mie Komplit, Nasi Bungkus. Everything is just so so rich in flavour and perfected.. which makes sense as I believe they have been there a while! Also feels homecooked and even my grandma likes it so it's a win win win on my list. Try it if you're looking for something new - you won't regret it! ”

“ We ordered delivery on a rainy day. Everything tasted delicious! Very authentic Indonesian food (according to my Indonesian friend who ordered the food). Here's what we ordered. Appetizer: Batagor (7.5/10) - assorted fried stuff (fish tofu, wonton, tofu, egg) in peanut sauce. It was great but didn't think it was special. Tempe Goreng (7/10) - personally not the biggest fan of tempe because of its unfamiliar texture. Perkedel (8.5/10) - made of mashed potato. very flavorful Main: Nasi Bungkus (9.5/10) - The best beef Randang i have ever had. Randang can be so dry but i was delighted to find the meat so flavorful and tender. Every bite was delicious. My friend ordered this dish and i'm jealous. Will order this all to myself next time. Nasi Campur Ayum Goreng (9/10) - Chicken was a little bit on the dry side but seasoned very well. Very delicious to eat with the potato side dish that i don't know the name of, and of course, vegetable curry. The spicy eggs with sambal are always my favorite Indonesia food. Wish they sell the eggs on the side. Desert: Es Teler (8/10) - tbh i was skeptical about this. coconut and avocado? But i was so shocked how great jt tastes! A bit on the sweet side but it helps cut down the spiciness of the food. Overall it was such a pleasant surprise! Looking forward to try more items on the menu! ”

“ Food (5/5): Came as a group of four. I ordered the Nasi Iga Bakar (BBQ Short Ribs Indonesian Style) and we shared the Soto Mie (Indonesian Style Noodle Soup). As usual all the dishes were delicious. Only improvement would be that the Iga Bakar was better last time because there were more tender meat in the bone. Service (5/5): Friendly and helpful service. The servers were attentive and were open to chatting with us. Food came out reasonably fast and they were flexible in letting us check out the store across the street. Ambiance (4/5): Cozy restaurant with a comforting vibe. Not the nicest looking or decorated place but definitely a great spot to eat. ”
